one thing overlooked
I don't usually get involved in these discussions, but I think AW has overlooked the fact that we snowbirds generally pay a lot more taxes than the average homeowner, but we are not sending our kids to your schools. Have you been in Wolfeboro recently and seen the huge renovation at Kingswood? There is no way that could have been accomplished without snowbird tax money. Sure we snowbirds as well as full time residents all enjoy fireworks on the fourth of July and I am sure people come into town and spend a lot of money at the local businesses on the fourth, so it benefits everyone. But the school budget in most towns is a huge part of the budget that we snowbirds contribute to, but gain no benefit from. Heck, my kids don't even have a turf field to play on in my hometown, but I am sure a lot of your kids do!
